I have worked in the insurance industry continuously since February of 1980. My initial position was as a policy typist, and has progressed up from there, through multi-line business and personal rating, underwriting, and eventually into claims. I have handled front line claims positions for auto, homeowners, and liability. I am currently a subrogation professional for workers compensation, and have previously handled subro for property and automobile. I have also worked in two insurance agencies, as a customer service representative for policy processing and as a claims facilitator. I am fully proficient on both insurance carriers internal computer systems, as well as Microsoft systems, Excel, Word, and other programs. I also have extensive experience with insurance agency-based computer programs. My focus has always been customer service on a personal and compassionate level, with a high degree of professional attitude. I take personal pride in guiding customer through an intense and complicated process, every day.
